You don’t need a mountaintop or an ocean to feel awe. Sometimes it's tiny: ✨ A curl of steam ✨ A spark of sunlight ✨ Anew leaf unfurling ✨ A songbird's song Awe isn’t rare. It's everywhere. Lean in. Let small wonders fill you with curiosity, inspiration, and joy. 🌿💚

If today has felt slow, foggy, like your mind is walking through molasses… You’re seasonal. Nature doesn’t bloom every day. Tides don’t rush every moment. Your rhythms are part of the wild plan. Move at the pace your body whispers. Not the pace the world demands. Trust the timing inside you.🌻🌲

Healing doesn’t just happen alone. It happens in relationship. Meeting minds. Growing together in real time. It happens between people, or between people and the wild. In the tiny rituals we share, the practices that help us take care of ourselves and each other.🌿✨

It's simple, but not always easy. It's a conscious choice. And an act of resistance. A legacy worth passing on. I learned it from nature. And my lived experiences. ✨If you can choose just one thing to be... ✨One way to help yourself, others, and our world... Please choose to be kind. 💚

You don’t have to “earn” your place in the world. The forest doesn’t interview the fern. The ocean doesn’t ask the tide to prove itself. The sky never wonders if the moon is worthy of showing up. 🌙 Nature assumes belonging. You’re part of that lineage. You already belong. Here. Now. As you are.

Nature reflects back the parts of us we lose track of: our resilience, our softness, our creativity, our instinct to grow. 🌿✨ Look closely: What you see in the mirror lives in you, too. You’re made of this beauty. You are the wild. www.youtube.com/shorts/PbmJM...

What can nature teach us about true belonging? I explore this on Substack, along with practical wisdom about communities and a somatic practice you can try to sense the weight of your relationships. I'd be honored if you read this important piece! whisperingwilds.substack.com/p/community-...

Have you felt the ache for true community lately? Let's explore what belonging really looks like: in nature, in relationships, and in the body: 🌿What makes community real 🌿Nature’s blueprint for belonging 🌿A somatic practice to sense what supports you whisperingwilds.substack.com/p/community-...

🐝A bee doesn’t panic over tomorrow’s nectar. 🌻A root doesn’t shame the flower for growing slow. Nature doesn’t run on hustle. It responds to what it needs. If you’ve been chasing more and still feel empty, my latest Substack post is for you. Come see: whisperingwilds.substack.com/p/the-wild-w...

Hey, wildling. You’re not just IN nature. You ARE nature, evolved enough to wonder why.🌱 Breathe fresh air. Look at the stars. Stretch in the sunlight. Say "hi" to a bee. And in every single moment, allow yourself awe and wonder at the precious fact that *you are part of the wild,* too.

Ever feel like you’re drifting, disconnected, or not enough? This is your reminder: You are made of ancient brilliance.✨💚 The stars didn’t just die for you. They lived again through you. Come back to that truth: www.instagram.com/p/DNePE1UxIJ7 #NatureWriting #Healing

Fireflies don’t shine for attention. They glow to connect. You have an inner glow, too. 💡 Even when life feels dark, your joy, creativity, and presence still have power. Let your light show when you’re ready. Let the people and places you're meant to find follow your glow to you.

Pitcher plants and Venus flytraps don’t feast out of malice. They do it to survive in nutrient-poor soil. 🌱 Their beauty is fierce, strange, and entirely earned. So is yours. A soft, slow life is a good goal. But sometimes being soft isn’t enough. Sometimes, you protect your peace with teeth.

Nature won’t fix you. But it will hold you while you unravel. This new post explores holding space and healing in the wild. 🌿 The wild makes room for you to come undone 📝 whisperingwilds.substack.com/p/the-wild-m... #NatureHealing #WhisperingWilds #Rewilding #GriefSupport #Healing

Lichen is more than meets the eye. It’s a symbiotic bond between fungus and algae, living in beautiful cooperation. Together, they thrive where nothing else dares grow. 🌳 You, too, can be both soft and strong when you’re supported in the right way. Seek relationships that nourish, not drain.

The calcium in your bones, the iron in your blood, the oxygen in your lungs… all born in ancient stars that exploded long before Earth was formed. You are not separate from the cosmos. You are a walking constellation. ✨ Shine bright. ⭐ #inspiration

Go easy on yourself today. Celebrate your #intuition. You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re attuned, like a wild thing built to notice the subtle shifts in the wind. 🦋

It’s no wonder your nervous system feels worn thin. The noise, the pace, the constant adapting... it takes a toll. Try this: Step outside. Place your hand on something alive—bark, soil, leaf. Say quietly: I’m allowed to feel this way. Then: I’m learning to soothe myself. That’s resilience. 🌱

🌱 Be patient. Nothing in nature blooms all year.

It's time we embrace nature fully in human health, from holistic practices to modern healthcare systems.

Tardigrades, aka "water bears" or "moss piglets," are microscopic creatures that survive boiling heat and abyssal freeze. They’re soft, slow, and unassuming, but endure what would break nearly anything else. You don’t have to look or feel strong to be strong. Quiet resilience is still resilience.

It's OK to change your colors. Chameleons don’t change color just to blend in. They shift based on mood, temperature, and light. 🦎 It’s not always about hiding. Sometimes it’s about regulating, expressing, or protecting. Adaptation isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom wrapped in vibrant skin. 💗

Today is a reminder to tend our planet with gratitude, care, and awe. Because every leaf, stone, and breeze is part of our story. 🌎💚 Happy Earth Day, my fellow wildling. #EarthDay2025 #EarthDay #Environment

I'm extremely excited for Dr. Kathy Allen's new eBook, which embraces key natural principles for creating healthy organizations and healthy lives.

Some days, tears flow like a river. Sometimes, they feel like they’ll sweep you away. What if you let go and ride your feelings toward safe waters? Acknowledge what you’re going through. Reach for help when you need it. And trust your resilience. You are a river, too. 🌊 #Wellness #Insp

Spring is here! With it, renewal & growth. 🌸 But if your energy doesn't feel spring-like, remember: Some seasons are for blooming. Others are for resting. In nature, nothing flowers all year long. Why do we expect ourselves to? Honor your season. There's plenty of time to blossom.

Next time the wind stirs, close your eyes and listen. Feel it move across your skin, through the trees. Let it take your worries, scattering them like falling leaves. Nature is always ready to carry what’s too heavy. Breathe deep. Let go. 🌬️ substack.com/profile/3058...
